For researchers submitting trial data to ClinicalTrials.gov, the Adverse Events module is one of four mandatory results sections. It requires reporting in three primary categories: All-Cause Mortality: A table tracking all deaths that occurred during the study, regardless of cause. Serious Adverse Events (SAEs): A tabular summary of events resulting in death, life-threatening conditions, hospitalization, or significant disability. Other Adverse Events: A table for non-serious events that exceed a specific frequency threshold, such as 5% within any study arm.
Adverse Events Module path is as follows:
Study -> Results Section -> Adverse Events Module -> Event Groups
Study -> Results Section -> Adverse Events Module -> Serious Events
Study -> Results Section -> Adverse Events Module -> Other Events

| Lottery | In addition to the incentives for the 3-, 6-, 9-, \& 12-month weigh-ins, participants who meet their daily goal will be eligible for the daily lottery during the first 6 months of the study. The expected daily winning for the lottery is the same as for the direct payment arm. All daily incentive earnings will be paid out after verifying participants' weights during an in person weigh in at a Weight Watchers location at months 3 and 6. Winnings will be proportional to weight loss. For example, if a participant's goal was to lose 6 pounds by month 3, but he/she only lost 3 pounds, that participant would only receive 50% of their total eligible winnings. Similar to the control arm, participants will receive daily feedback for months 1-6 and will be observed without intervention in Phase II (months 7-12). The weigh-ins at 9- and 12-months will also be required. | 0 | None | 2 | 77 | 2 | 77 | View |
| Direct Payment | In addition to the incentives for the 3-, 6-, 9-, \& 12-month weigh-ins, participants who meet their daily goal will be eligible to receive an incentive for each day their goal is met during the first 6 months of the study. All daily incentive earnings will be paid out after verifying participants' weights during an in person weigh in at a Weight Watchers location at months 3 and 6. Winnings will be proportional to weight loss. For example, if a participant's goal was to lose 6 pounds by month 3, but he/she only lost 3 pounds, that participant would only receive 50% of their total eligible winnings. Similar to the control arm, participants will receive daily feedback for months 1-6 and will be observed without intervention in Phase II (months 7-12). The weigh-ins at 9- and 12-months will also be required. | 1 | None | 9 | 75 | 1 | 75 | View |
| Control | No other financial incentive other than for the 3-, 6-, 9-, \& 12-month weigh-ins and surveys. Participants will receive daily feedback for months 1-6 and will be observed without intervention in Phase II (months 7-12). Two weigh-ins will be required during Phase II, one at 9 months and the other at 12 months. | 0 | None | 4 | 39 | 1 | 39 | View |
